The face of the female corpse is gone!

The face is gone, three very simple words, but what kind of situation is the face gone?

First, the deceased was disfigured after death.

The second is that the murderer was too cruel and stripped the deceased of his face after his death.

But neither one nor the other was enough for the fox to stop and watch. The fox is not the kind of person who will go to see the excitement and join in the fun, if he is simply disfigured and stripped of his face, he will come back with a glance at most. What could make him stand by the lake and ponder for a while must have been something that even he found incredible.

So, what does this sentence mean when the face of the female corpse is gone?

Xing Ruyi walked to the lake with doubts. In the drizzle and haze, a female corpse could be seen lying on its stomach in the water. The part from the head to the chest is sunk in the water, and from the chest down is left on the shore. The figure of the female corpse is average, judging from the aesthetics of the Tang Dynasty, she is not plump enough, and from the perspective of later generations, she is a little too greasy, especially the fat accumulated on the waist and buttocks is too thick.

"What are you looking at?"

"It's not very good." Xing Ruyi muttered in a low voice, walked to the shore of the lake and squatted down.

The fox was stunned at first, and shook his head helplessly. Whether his wife is too different, or the women in the world are so unpredictable - in the face of a corpse, the first consideration is not the cause of the other party's death, not why the other party died by this lake, but to judge whether the other party's figure is good enough.

"Judging by the state of the skin, the deceased should have been around 25 years old. There are calluses on the soles of the feet, indicating that daily travel relies on the legs, not the carriage. Although the skin is not delicate, there are traces of maintenance, indicating that the family background is acceptable. At this age, it is just right to put it in our time, but until now, I am afraid that I am already a mother of several children. ”

Xing Ruyi looked up at the surroundings of the lake: "Since leaving Yong'an, I haven't met a town or village on this road. Judging from the surrounding environment, it doesn't look like there is a village nearby, how did this woman get to this lake and die here? ”

"The surface of the lake is calm and waveless, so it shouldn't have floated from the lake."

"If it doesn't come from the lake, it can only come from the mountain road." Xing Ruyi carefully looked around the corpse: "Although the rain is small, it has been pouring down for most of the day, even if there are some traces, I am afraid that it will be washed away." ”

"Don't you think it's strange Ruyi?"

"You mean the clothes on the corpse?"

"If it is for wealth, only take what is valuable from the deceased. Even if he took a fancy to the clothes on the deceased's body and thought that he could pawn some silver, he would not be able to strip the deceased so cleanly. If it is a hate, there is no need to do so. ”

"Perhaps the murderer coveted the beauty of the dead. You see that the terrain here is remote, although there is an official road, but the two sides of the official road are covered with weeds, indicating that the utilization rate of this official road is not high, and there are not many pedestrians who come and go every day. Although I don't know why the deceased appeared in this place, she must have her own reasons for appearing. The murderer may have passed by by accident, or he may have followed him, and when he came to this place, he had evil intentions, so he ......"

Xing Ruyi winked at the fox and followed with a motion to wipe his neck.

"Where's the clothes?"

"Of course they were thrown away or hidden."

"Is it necessary? It is impossible for a dead man to speak, and if he cannot speak, why should the murderer have any scruples? If there is no scruples, why should you throw away the clothes of the deceased in one fell swoop? ”

"That's right." Xing Ruyi frowned: "Judging from the state of the deceased, there are no restraint injuries before death, and there are no struggle injuries, which shows that the deceased's clothes were taken off by themselves." Since he took it off by himself, it will not be too far from the place of the crime. Assuming that the murderer killed the deceased after he had succeeded and coveted some of the deceased's belongings, there would be no need to hide the deceased's clothes after the deceased's death. Unless, the deceased's clothing is highly recognizable and can be identified by the clothing at a glance. By the way, as you just said, the face of the deceased is gone. ”

"It's gone!"

"Did the murderer deliberately scratch the deceased's face in order to cover up the identity of the deceased?"

Xing Ruyi lifted the corner of her skirt, looked at the shoes on her feet, and wondered if she stepped into the water and pulled the deceased out of the water.

"Go back to shore and stand still."

With a flick of the fox's hand, the deceased "flew" out of the lake and landed smoothly on the shore.

When he saw the face of the deceased, he understood what the fox meant by "the face is gone".

"This face...... It's really gone. ”

"Hmm!"

"It's the first time I've seen anything like this." Xing Ruyi stared at that face.

The eyebrows are gone, the eyes are gone, and the nose and mouth can still be faintly recognized, but it seems to have been flattened by something. The ears are still there, but with such a strange face, it looks more and more abrupt.

"This shouldn't be something [people] can do, right?"

"If you are an ordinary person, you naturally can't do it." The fox pointed to the female corpse: "That layer of green light is not something that ordinary people can leave behind. ”

"Is there a demonic spirit???

The fox shook his head: "I didn't find it. ”

"What about the soul? Judging by the state of the corpse, the deceased should have been dead for a long time. ”

"Not either."

"Didn't you?" Xing Ruyi pursed his mouth and pressed his index finger on the deceased's forehead: "It's true, and I didn't feel it." There is no demonic energy, which means that she is not harmed by monsters. But ordinary people, even if they kill someone, they won't make the face of the deceased look like this. It's not that it can't be done, it's that it's impossible.

The eyebrows can be shaved off, but the eyes, nose, and mouth can't be wiped off. Even if I didn't have your help, I am afraid it would be difficult to accomplish it. Could it be that this murderer is a [person] with an odd number who is even more powerful than me. ”

"If you don't understand it, don't think about it." The fox stood beside Xing Ruyi and looked down at the female corpse: "This matter is a bit weird, and it is not easy to stay here for a long time." ”

"And what about this female corpse?"

"Buried it."

"Buried?" Xing Ruyi stared at that face: "What if her family is still looking for her?" ”

"This road only connects two places, one is Yongan County, and the other is Qiaojiazhuang. She didn't come out of Yong'an, she must be someone from Qiaojiazhuang. Everything, let's talk about it when we get to Qiaojiazhuang. ”

"Listen to you. It's just that where would it be more appropriate to bury her?? ”

"It's good on the mountain." The fox pointed a little with his index finger, and a cave appeared on the slope of the mountain opposite Xing Ruyi.

Xing Ruyi thought about it, returned to the carriage, took a blanket and carefully wrapped the female corpse.

"Don't worry, once you have met, it is fate, I will help you find your family. As for you, just sleep on this mountain for the time being, and when I find your family, I will bring them to you. ”

Seeing the female corpse being sent into the cave, Xing Ruyi turned his back and got into the carriage.

When he was about to arrive at Qiaojiazhuang, the fox recited a few words, and a driver appeared in front of the car. The coachman shook his head a few times, and when he looked up again, he was no different from the coachmen he usually saw.

"Excuse me, are Mr. Yin and Mrs. Yin sitting in this car?"

"Who are you?"

"Lao Yu is the steward of this Qiaojiazhuang, surnamed Qiao, and named Sanxi. It was my lord who asked me to wait here, saying that there would be a distinguished guest today. The guests are a couple, surnamed Yin, who came from the direction of Yongan County. ”

"Master Joe? But the two of us don't know any Master Qiao. ”

"It's Mrs. Yin, right? It's true that Madame doesn't know my master, but Madame should know my young master. ”

"Young Master Cousin?"

"My cousin's young master's surname is Liu, and his single name is a new word."

"Yanagi? Yong'an City's catch fast Yanagi? ”

"Yes, my young master is on an errand in Yong'an. Yesterday, the young master sent a letter to me, saying that Mrs. and Mr. would pass through here today and let my master entertain him. The young master also said that when he was in Yong'an, he was taken care of by his wife. ”

"In this case, please ask the steward to thank your master in advance on behalf of our husband and wife. Passing through this place, I have to bother, and I really feel a little sorry in my heart. ”

"Madame is gracious." Steward Qiao arched his hand and said: "Since he is a friend of the young master, and the young master is the one who personally wrote to the young master, that is our honored guest of Qiaojiazhuang." The bedroom has been prepared yesterday, the wine and food are all ready, and please Mr. and Mrs. Don't be embarrassed, but also go to the Zhuangzi to sit down. ”

In the carriage, Xing Ruyi and the fox exchanged a look.

Xing Ruyi moved, lifted the curtain, and said: "In this way, there will be labor management." ”

"Please, two of you!"

Unlike the common Zhuangzi, there is no clear boundary between the courtyard of Qiaojiazhuang and the other houses in the village.

"This Qiaojiazhuang is a little different."

"It's different from other places." The steward waited for Xing Ruyi and the fox to get out of the carriage, and at the same time responded to Xing Ruyi's question: "This was just a small village at first, and our family moved from outside. When I first arrived, I followed the previous set, building a big house and a high courtyard wall to separate our family from the villagers outside.

But later, the old man felt a little uncomfortable. Although they live in the same place, they are nothing but alienated from each other. Our family has a small population, and the number of people is thin, and it is inevitable that we will be a little lonely and lonely in this village all day long.

Later, the lord asked the courtyard wall to be demolished, and the back garden of our house became a place where everyone in the village could watch, drink tea and chat. Later, the big guys became a family. This Qiaojiazhuang has also changed from the name of our small village to the name of this place.

Well, the high wall has also changed from surrounding a small village to surrounding a large village. ”

"Master Qiao is a rare open-minded person."

"It's better to be happy alone than to be happy with everyone, this is what my master said." The steward led Xing Ruyi into a big mansion: "Two please! ”

"Steward Joe, please!"

Xing Ruyi was about to raise his foot, when he saw something flying towards him. Subconsciously leaned closer to the fox, and then heard a "snap" sound in his ears. When I looked down, I saw a broken tea bowl at my feet.
